Behind the Scenes with Me and Tex!

Happy Friday! It’s my absolute pleasure today to share a behind the scenes sneaky peek into the creative mind of Judith from Australian handmade label, Me and Tex. Judith creates quirky toys, iPhone covers, knitted accessories, and upcycled knitwear. The mad menagerie that you see below are some of our personal favourites from Judith’s range.

Me and Tex was…
Born in late 2008, when I opened my Etsy shop selling hand knit accessories. Over time it has evolved and I now make textile toys using mostly salvaged and vintage materials. I love knitting and I combine hand and sewing techniques as well as knitting in my softie construction. I also sell my work through galleries and occasionally at markets.

I started my creative life as a…
Painter, having completed a Bachelor of Fine Art 15 years ago. A few years ago I learnt how to sew through a TAFE Outreach course and started my journey towards softie making.

When I look around my workspace I see…
Fabric and yarn…everywhere! I also see my old 1970’s vintage sewing machine, and lots of sunlight streaming in through the window.
